The Regular General Practitioner (RGP) Scheme was introduced in Norway in June 2001. In a revision of the RGP Scheme, it has been proposed to regulate the number of people assigned (list size) to one general practitioner (GP) to a maximum of 2,500 persons. A further suggestion is to let the municipalities decide whether to increase the list up to 1,500 persons in cases where the GP's list is shorter. Currently, the relationship between list size and quality of health care services is uncertain. This overview is intended to be used as part of the documentation concerning decisions about GPs' list size. Commission The Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services was asked by The Norwegian Directorate of Health to review available research which addressed the question: What are the effects of the number of people assigned to GPs on the quality of health care services? We searched systematically for:1. Systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, controlled studies and interrupted time series that examine the effect of GPs' list size on quality parameters (primary objective)2. Studies that have assessed GPs' list size in relation to various quality dimensions of services provided by GPs (cross-sectional studies) Main results There is an evidence gap regarding the effects of GPs' list size on health care quality parameters. We can not conclude whether short or long lists result in differences in the quality of services provided by primary care physicians. We have found 91 studies that, although they did not evaluate effect, examined the association between GPs' list size and the quality of the services provided. Among these are sixteen Norwegian registry- and cross-sectional studies. We have presented the studies, including their results, and elucidated that the studies are varied as regards aims, methods used and study settings. It is difficult to use registry- and cross-sectional studies as basis for answering questions on associations. The results of the included studies showed a large variation, thus we are uncertain about a possible association between list size and the quality of primary care physician services. None of the studies examined what the optimal list size would be in relation to quality of primary care physician services.

"Psychosis has many causes. Psychiatrists typically receive the most thorough training in its diagnosis, but the diagnosis of psychosis secondary to nonpsychiatric conditions is not often emphasized. An understanding of the underlying cause of psychosis is important for effective management. The Diagnosis of Psychosis bridges the gap between psychiatry and medicine, providing a comprehensive review of primary and secondary causes of psychosis. It covers both common and rare causes in a clinically focused guide. Useful both for teaching and reference, the text covers physical and mental state examination, describes key investigations, and summarizes the non-psychiatric features of medical conditions causing psychosis. Particularly relevant for psychiatrists and trainees in psychiatry, this volume will also assist neurologists and general physicians who encounter psychosis in their practice"--

Jean a trente-six ans. Il fume trop, mâche des chewing-gums à la menthe et fait ses visites de médecin de famille à vélo. Il a supprimé son numéro de portable sur ses ordonnances. Son cabinet médical n'a plus de site Internet. Il a trop de patients : jusqu'au soir, ils débordent de la salle d'attente, dans le couloir, sur le patio. Tous les jours, Jean entend des histoires. Parfois il les lit directement sur le corps des malades. Il lui arrive de se mettre en colère. Mais il ne pleure jamais. Ses larmes sont coincées dans sa gorge. Il ne sait plus comment pleurer depuis cette nuit où il lui a manqué six minutes.
